hmm, an interesting thread so far. i have come across, certainly
for a shorter article (e.g. a letter-to-editor) that i can't give
all the citations i would like to. i have had it on poster
presentations where writing real estate is not a great issue. when
a lab person cites only 1 or 2 references on a poster, the other
authors seem to "resent" (for want of a better word) me adding
3 or 4 analysis references. and if i am only 'allowed' 1 reference
for programs, i have to make it an original LINKAGE one rather than
a FASTLINK one, i feel, even though some of the analysis was
done using FASTLINK as well as bits of LINKAGE.
my original article just meant to say that coz a reference search
on a database shows 10% of papers cite FASTLINK, doesnt mean that
only 10% of papers *used* FASTLINK...
cheers,
Iain.
